realshelby Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I guess I was more interested in what the restaurant was that the Saturday ride might bring. It is quite obvious from the video that the wait for a table can indeed be "overwhelming". Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Happy to report Bigfish and Little Fish are in. Always a good time. Anyone from So. Cal riding up on Friday? Willing to meet up. Yup. Although I was toying with the idea of meeting the folks in Bakersfield to ride in that way. We'll see. Link to comment
ArizonaAl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 For information-- Angie will become a UIS citizen on Oct 31, so the Sat night dinner will also be a BMWST.com party for the newest citizen of the bunch-- Link to comment

szurszewski Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 For information-- Angie will become a UIS citizen on Oct 31, so the Sat night dinner will also be a BMWST.com party for the newest citizen of the bunch-- Congratulations! I was hoping we'd be able to swing by DVD this time, but it's Jeremiah's birthday weekend and we promised to meet up with his grandmother further east. We will probably be in DV tomorrow or the day after for a day or two though... Al - was thinking about you yesterday as we, when it got dark and I started worrying about deer on the two-lane, switched over to the interstate for the last 90 miles of our day. The ear plugs made it almost pleasant Link to comment
EffBee Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Happy to report Bigfish and Little Fish are in. Always a good time. Anyone from So. Cal riding up on Friday? Willing to meet up. I'll probably be doing a 4AM run out of SoCal to Baker, in order to avoid the traffic as well as rising sun in my face. Then from there, it's a leisurely ride due north on CA127 with a laid back stop for breakfast, and maybe an 11AM - Noon arrival in order to at least get one beer before Schibi shows up with that hot new citizen babe of his, and buys up all the adult sodas. This means I'll be in Baker around 6-ish and having breakfast at Furnace Creek Ranch around 9 or so. The chicken fried steak is the size of a Frisbee. I may need help. Anyone want to ride with me out of SoCal, or meet up in Baker, that sounds good. Link to comment

Heck Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 If I get there, am in for Goldpoint. At present after getting cataract surgery in both eyes, which switched me from being very very nearsighted to very farsighted......

CoarsegoldKid Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm taking a foothill route from Coarsegold to Kernville on Thursday. Roughly 260 miles of pavement 6hrs of saddle time. It's one turn after the other. Leaving at 8:30am with a few butt(hip) rest stops, and lunch. Arriving in Kernville 4:30pm. You too can join in on the fun. Let me know. Link to comment
StuGotz Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just wondering: The usual suspects led by Don from the south, and a posse led by Joe from the north could probably total 15 or so at the Ranch Cafe in Olancha somewhere around 10ish on Friday morning. Someone need to call in advance? Don't want to see them run out of vittles.... MB> Link to comment

realshelby Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Room is booked. New tire and 24K service done on RT. Starting the packing ritual. I will probably go to Goldpoint with everyone just because I don't know what is going on up there............ Link to comment
Groanup Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Since I have Thursday off, (and the Mrs. can't make it) I'm going to join the "Sherman Pass contingent". I've wanted to do this for a looong time. I think this year it will be doable! Chicken this year? I'm in! Link to comment
